McFarlain’s Restaurant

Probably one of the best restaurants that I have eaten at, in years! The waiting staff was courteous and as quick as they could possibly be (and they were pretty busy too!). So, I applaud the waitresses on a job well done. My wife and I both loved all of the food that we ordered. I personally had the meat loaf meal and it was most excellent! Also, their honey cornbread is amazing. Our waitress even brought more for us to take home, and that was really sweet of her. The environment was great, location is awesome. Clean place, a little pricey but well worth it!

Just average food. Its country cooking an burgers. The menu is limited. Its fairly inexpensive but its located in an imax mall.

Love this place. Food was very good and so was service. I had Chicken Fried Chicken this year and was impressed. Last year had the roast beef and it was good. Will eat here next year when I am here

We had an enjoyable dinner with a group of 25. The service was a little slow with only one waitress for the group, but she did her best and hustled.
I love the fact that they served the pie before the main dish. They have a motto posted out front… «Life is short… Eat pie first.»
I had the Chicken Pot pie, and it was one of the best I have had. Nice thick gravy, big chunks of chicken, and gray crust.

Always good food, friendly and great service and wait staff. We’ve never been dissapointed eating there.. Their cornbread is to die for!

My sisters boyfriend raved about this place. We walked in to an empty, dead restaurant (but should mention it was Sunday evening). The food selection is nothing but fried and the salads looked pitiful. We order our food with the nacho appetizer. Cornbread came out and it was amazingly good (which is why I gave it 2 stars). This is probably the only redeeming thing about this restaurant. The nachos came next and the were a solid ‘meh’. Looked like vomit on a plate. Nothing appealing to the eye. I ordered a hamburger with fried green tomatoes. Our order came out and I could have fed a family of 4. Massive amount of French fries. The fries were luke warm and hard. I took off fried green tomatoes to eat separately. They were not very good. The breading was extremely salty. I took off the breading and just at the tomatoes. Those were good. Now for my hamburger. It too was a salt bomb. I could not even eat half of the burger. My sister got the fettuccine Alfredo and it was more like Alfredo Fettuccine. The fettuccine was swimming in sauce. I could go on and on.
Lastly, when we got up to leave the restaurant had filled up some… full of the elderly, so the extreme amount of salt makes sense.
I’m headed home to throw up and run off the unnecessary calories I consumed. You’d be better eating at the Golden Corral across the way. Skip this place, actually run. Spend your money elsewhere.
P. s. This food was paid for, so I felt badly he wastes his money eating here.

We always make McFarlains a dinner choice when in Branson. We’ve been dining here for many years! It has a great menu with home style comfort food, great rustic atmosphere, and we always look forward to the cornbread and honey butter!

This is the epitome of good, home-​style food. The staff is friendly and the cornbread might as well be cake! However, its main problem is the prominent display of the Confederate flag. As such, this racist symbol would keep away most people who are offended by such symbols.

Love this place! We make it a point to stop in here for breakfast each time we come to Branson! Crab cakes Benedict will change your life!

As I’ve stated in other posts, the dining experience in Branson can be vast, however the off-​season (January through early March) can limit what is available.
Immediately the staff was welcoming and courteous, seating us right away. The menu selection is what I’d describe as Classic American Comfort dishes in a one of a kind setting. The appetizers arrived hot and quick, the fried green beans were especially crunchy and delicious. The chicken strip basket was quite tasty, the chicken well seasoned and fried perfectly, not greasy to the touch in the least. They are served with fries and white country gravy for dipping, however I recommend substituting the gravy for their house ranch. The Ozark melt was extremely tender and juicy, with all the flavors coming across.
Overall the dining experience is one I’d recommend to couples and families alike looking for great classic American cuisine without breaking the bank.

Wow the food was served cold. Both our eggs had egg shells. You could see the pieces of she’ll in the eggs. Also very crunchy with the shells. The service was just poor. The attitude was angry. The server also took away the fork and left me with a knife to eat with. We ask to have the temperature correct. I would not recommend this experience for anyone.
There was no value for the $ 23.50 we paid for two breakfasts.

Good service but good wasn’t very good. This is our second time. We were hoping the first time was bad timing. Good quality was the same both times. We had the sirloin steak which was dry and actually tasted like liver … Tenderloin sandwich was ok. Lettuce was brown and sweet potato fries were hard and overlooked. My 6 year old loved the meatloaf and regular fries! Meet atmosphere and good service. Server was very good!

Had breakfast here after not getting service at the Belgian Waffle. Service was super quick. You get a carafe of coffee, which I love. The $ 3.99 all you can eat pancakes is a good deal. They bring you 4 huge pancakes to start with. Geez, isn’t that «all you can eat?» They had butter on top and you get your own little dispenser of warm syrup. Very good and a great deal. I highly recommend.

The service was very good. My wife had the chicken pot pie and said it was the best she has had. The liver and onions were a little dry. (Not baby beef liver). Wen’t to I Max and view Ozark. Good history of locals. Other good shows in same complex.

We’ve had trouble finding decent food in Branson and this one of the better restaurants we’ve eaten at. Wasn’t crazy about the atmosphere but that’s mostly because old fashioned isn’t my thing. Service was average. Didn’t know about the rising tables until after we left so that was disappointing. Make sure to ask about this! The buffalo chicken sandwich was very good. My husband and I shared a slice of apple pie and were very pleased. Definitely save some room for dessert! :)

For Branson fare, this was really really good. I had the pork chop and it was succulent. The gravy on the mashed potatoes was delicious. My daughter is gluten free and they didn’t have many options for her. It would be good to have an allergen menu.
Service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Took my family of 5 for dinner. Great corn bread for starters! Followed by five individual meals (see pics). This place is a good family friendly kid friendly place with healthy portions of Mama’s good cooking! Would highly recommend and the price is absolutely right.

This was one of the better restaurants I have been at for breakfast for the entertainment factor. The food was also good. I had the legendary breakfast which was all very good. Brett had the pancakes which were also good. The coffee hit the spot, there was something about it that made it taste like old camp fire brewed coffee.
Our group was separated into two tables by choice. One of the tables was the table that raises up and down, this was the best part. We laughed so hard when the group at the table finally realized the table was raising. The waitress made the entertainment of the table going up and down extremely fun. She made the group stand up and sing Row, Row, Row your Boat to make the table to go down.
I highly recommend coming to this place with family and getting this these tables if you can.

We had a stupendous time here for breakfast today! We have never laughed so hard. Part of our group at at one of the rising tables and minor of them noticed the table moving until it was over grandma ‘s shoulders! Haha!
We had amazing service. Very prompt, knowledgeable and courteous.
The food was excellent. Everyone loved everything. Absolutely no complaints. I had the chocolate chip pancakes and they were by far the best I’ve ever had. They were so cheap and unlimited!
I highly highly recommend this place! Tell the server you want to sit at the round table and wait for your guests to react and be surprised.

I give this four stars according to Branson location. What that means is we haven’t really found any great, knock your socks off food in Branson at all. There just doesn’t seem to be the attention to taste and quality there. I think they may rely on the constant stream of people attending nearby attractions. That being said I give this four stars for breakfast.
Mcfarlands is a large restaurant inside of an indoor mall. It’s a super cute place that is old-​fashioned farm themed. The wait staff is friendly and the prices are good.
We have only tried their breakfast but was very pleasantly surprised with the quality. Their biscuits came with homemade strawberry rhubarb, cherry preserves which was very tasty. The all you can eat’ pan cakes have a hint of vanilla to them and are golden brown.
We will be back.
